You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1953: Never Give Up

As time passed day by day, September arrived in the blink of an eye. This was the month when Joyce was due to give birth.

Life seemed to have little commotion. Luther and Joyce went about their daily routines, with Joyce attending her regular check-ups, monitoring the baby's heartbeat, and her belly growing larger by the day. Her protruding abdomen made it hard for her to see her own feet when she looked down. Walking became a challenge, especially when navigating stairs, requiring assistance. Luther put aside his work to spend more time by her side.

Anderson and Alisha went to kindergarten as usual, with Cecelia taking good care of them. Their days were calm and not too hectic.

The only change was the diminishing smile on Joyce's face. As her body grew heavier, her inner worries intensified. Luther had taken all the antidotes prepared by Dr. Jocelyn, but there had been no improvement. Luther had lost his sense of taste completely, unable to savor anything. Despite his daily search for biological information through extensive data comparison, the task proved to be an immense challenge with no results thus far.

It was a rest day.

Luther woke up early in the morning, with Joyce still asleep beside him, the sky just turning bright outside.

He sat up gently, watching her, knowing how difficult things had become for her lately. Carrying twins was no easy feat, and with her belly growing larger, finding a comfortable sleeping position at night had become a struggle. Luther had bought a leg rest and a special waist cushion, but they provided little relief for her backaches. Sleeping on her back made her feel suffocated, while sleeping on her side left her feeling sore.

He often felt her tossing and turning, unable to move comfortably, yet reluctant to disturb him.

Seeing her struggle pained him deeply. So, he would always hug her tightly against his back, supporting her waist, allowing her to sleep on her side. Only after she had drifted off would he finally fall asleep himself.

He was grateful for the fact that during her first pregnancy, he was not able to be by her side until she gave birth. This time, he could fulfill his duties. He hoped he could hold on a little longer and see his children.
